- This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application 61/607,747 filed Mar. 7, 2012, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- This invention was made with Government support under contract SU-83603201 awarded by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Government has certain rights in this invention.
- The present invention relates generally to solar energy devices. More particularly, the invention relates to solar absorbers for concentrated solar power (CSP) dish systems.
- Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technology seeks to replace fossil fuels in mechanical compression cycles for power generation. Existing dish systems require large areas to achieve sufficient conversion efficiency for the cost of the system. In addition, the conversion efficiencies which have been achieved are limited by the materials and manufacturing processes used. Moreover, a solar absorber for small scale CSP has not been economically viable due to high cost for small systems.
- The current technologies in the art use metal components in one form or another, which limits the overall performance that can be achieved. Common high temperature metals will begin to fail around 1300 K and these metals have a low thermal conductivity. Since metal has high reflectivity, the receivers are often large to increase their internal surface area, and their surface is often coated with a radiation absorbent layer.
- According to one aspect, the invention provides a solar absorber for a concentrated solar power (CSP) dish system. The solar absorber includes a cylindrically shaped blackbody cavity receiver and a cylindrically shaped heat exchanger shell covering the receiver. An exterior surface of the cavity receiver has grooves embedded to create a duct spiraling about the exterior of the cavity receiver so that the duct forms tubes of a tube-style heat exchanger when covered by the heat exchanger shell. An interior diameter of the cavity receiver is greater than or equal to a diameter of an aperture of the cavity receiver, and a longitudinal interior depth of the cavity is greater than or equal to twice the interior diameter of the cavity receiver. The cavity receiver is composed of a first monolithic ceramic material having emissivity greater than 0.9 and the heat exchanger shell is composed of a second monolithic ceramic material having emissivity greater than 0.9. The first and second ceramic materials are not necessarily distinct, but may be. The cavity receiver and heat exchanger shell are fused to form a monolithic cavity receiver and heat exchanger.
- In a preferred embodiment, the first monolithic ceramic material is silicon carbide and the interior diameter of the cavity receiver is equal to the diameter of the aperture of the cavity receiver. Alternatively, the first monolithic ceramic material may be silicon nitride. Preferably, the duct has a rectangular cross-section.
